Sasha and Leonid Raiz have initiated with support of the RJCF and funded a new ceramics studio in Ariel, Israel. 
In Sasha's words: "It was a wonderful event, filled with a warm and welcoming crowd, including the mayor of Ariel. Ceramics teacher Nelly Levin carefully selected top-quality equipment-a kiln, a slab roller, and pottery wheel. The setting was thoughtfully arranged, creating the perfect atmosphere. Many dedicated people came together to make it all happen, and I couldn't imagine a better place, a more inspiring teacher, or a more supportive community."
